Japanese people and Paulownia

Following the legend that "the phoenix will live in the paulownia tree" when times of peace arrives, it is said that the paulownia crest began to be used in Japan from the time of Emperor Saga as a prayer for peace. Even today, the "five-seven paulownia" is used as the emblem of the Japanese government. Paulownia has not only been regarded as sacred, but also has been used as a material for kimono storage boxes due to its excellent moisture absorption and breathability, making it an essential part of the lives of Japanese people as it is indispensable for protecting important clothing and food.

Only 2.3% of Aizu Paulownia wood is domestically produced - the rarity of the wood

However, the long-term influx of cheap paulownia wood from overseas has caused the price of domestic paulownia wood to fall, resulting in a serious situation in which nearly 98% of domestic consumption is foreign wood, resulting in a high dependency on imports. Meanwhile, in the Aizu region of Fukushima Prefecture, which accounts for two-thirds of the domestic paulownia wood production, enthusiastic research and reforestation have been carried out from the Edo period to the present day, and the region is known as a producer of the highest quality paulownia. Efforts are being made every day with a high awareness of sustainability to prevent the depletion of the high-quality domestic paulownia wood that Japan has nurtured since ancient times, and to pass on this local resource to future generations.

Prevent mold on your precious cremated ashes and bones

As the empirical data shows, the excellent moisture-regulating properties of paulownia have been confirmed to keep the humidity inside the container (urn) at a high level, and Aizu paulownia is expected to suppress the development of mold on ashes and bones.
To keep in your heart the preciousness and gratitude of your deceased loved ones, we recommend using domestic paulownia wood, which has been loved throughout Japanese history and culture since ancient times and is now a rare material.
